Maximize the use of your laptop by using practical add-ons like the 3G LaptopConnect devices specifically AT&T USBConnect Velocity from Option and AT&T USBConnect Turbo from LG. These devices are perfect for users who are always on the go that mostly carry laptops and require a fast 3G network to always stay connected whenever and wherever.

The Velocity is integrated with the built-in GPS functionality that allows users to get to their destination the easiest way through location-based applications. This is even made possible by using the free app Option GPS Control Panel which leverages the location-enabled websites like Bing and Yahoo! Maps.

The Turbo, on the other hand, has HSPA 7.2 feature that offers an ultra fast Internet connection which caters the need of users to meet their professional and personal computing requirements while away from office or home PC. With its ergonomic and distinctive design, it is compatible to use with other laptop configurations.

The Velocity and Turbo have built-in microSD slot which makes them versatile enough to be used as portable storage devices letting users carry all the pertinent files and data they need anywhere they go. Using these devices also makes consumers always up-to-date wherever AT&T supplies data coverage.

How many USB flash drives have you accidentally bumped into and got damaged? One? Two? Three? Or more? If more, well, it’s high time you do something about it or else you’ll be losing valuable files every now and then. Yes, although keeping your USB thumb drive and other devices away from you as possible can do the trick, at times this is not the perfect solution. So, what to do instead? Get yourself this Quirky Contort!

So, what’s the first thing that entered your mind when you see the image of this product? Is it an extension wire? True, it looks similar to it, only that instead of the usual socket, it features USB ports instead. Designed mainly to protect all your USB devices from accidental damage, this Contort includes a four-port USB hub and a cord manager with a flexible neck. So basically, this gives you more flexibility as to where you’ll put your USB devices while they are connected to your computer or laptop, and provides your USB thumb drives with extra protection, so they won’t get damaged early, which in turn can lead to data loss.

Whether we use PC or laptop, chances are, at times, we shove in the USB plug from the wrong side, thus we have to shove it again until it finally fits. Actually, there’s nothing much to worry about if this only happens once, twice, or just a few times. But if this happens frequently, there’s a possibility that the USB plug head will get damaged early. You sure don’t want this to happen, do you? So, say goodbye to damaged USB plug head by keeping yourself equipped with a Double U USB Port.

At first look, you might think that there’s no significant difference between the double USB and the traditional one. But if you will look closely, you will notice that in the double USB, as its name implies, there’s a USB symbol on each side, which basically means that both sides can be plugged in to transmit data. So, there’s no need for you to identify the USB first before plugging just so you plug in the right side. And since it consists of two contact layers that expand and contract freely, this assures you that there’s always a layer that will touch the contacts of the fixed interface, no matter which side is up.

Flash drives are dead cheap nowadays and as easy to come by as hay in a haystack. Poor analogy aside, USB thumb drives might be considered expendables but the data they contain are definitely not. So how do you weed out the reliable drives from other run-of-the-mill storage media? It’s all in the features. You would want something from a reputable brand and with extra features, solid security, and reliable performance – just like the new Lexar LJDSEP8GBASBNA JumpDrive Secure II Plus Flash Drive. This latest version shares the same advanced security software and features as the original JumpDrive Secure II but even improved through its innovative onboard capacity meter to experience ultimate convenience.

The Lexar JumpDrive Secure II Plus Flash Drive is a perfect solution for safely storing, sharing, and transferring contents like photos, files, videos and more. It comes in a sleek USB flash drive design that has easy-to-read, 10-bar capacity meter to instantly show available storage space even when unplugged from a PC. Its display functions work separately from the operating system thus more flexible and easy to use than other flash drives. The Lexar JumpDrive Secure II Plus Flash Drive has an 8GB capacity and comes pre-loaded with advanced security software for a hassle-free and quick data protection. It uses Encrypted Vaults that let you create multiple password-protected areas which encrypt your data by on-the-fly 256-bit AES encryption. There is also a File Shredder feature that makes your file fully unrecoverable if you want to securely and thoroughly delete files thus giving you total data security and peace of mind. The Lexar JumpDrive Secure II Plus Flash Drive is backed by lifetime warranty to give you more confidence about its quality.

If you want to take advantage of this new interface, there’s no need to rip apart your old PC and get a new motherboard. With a vacant PCI express slot, you can easily enjoy all the advantages of a USB 3.0 interface by using the LaCie USB 3.0 PCI Express Card.

This PCI express card adds two USB 3.0 ports to your PC and integrates NEC component to supply the highest level of performance and compatibility.
